How to identify air quality?
A number between 0 and 50 indicates good air quality. A number of 51 to 100 represents a very good low level. Then the number 101 to 200 shows the normal situation. 201 to 300 is a bad number. So, a number of 301 to 400 is a worst case scenario. If the number is between 401 and 500, it is for the worst case scenario.
Color indicates air quality
The air quality index is color-coded. Green represents safe and healthy air quality, while yellow represents moderate levels. Orange suggests air that may be unhealthy for sensitive groups, and red indicates unhealthy conditions for everyone. Purple indicates extremely unhealthy air and maroon is used to indicate dangerous levels, which pose a serious health risk.
